Residential life throws dance party for students needing break from studies

Residential Life hosted Dance Central Wednesday night in Masur Lobby. The event, open to all on campus students, was filled with people dancing and having fun. “I am really enjoying myself, and I am enjoying this free food,” says senior mass communication major, Joe Lewis.

Residential Life hosts several events like this throughout the year in an attempt to give the students a break from school and the chance to meet new people.

The Residential Assistants (RAs) are required to throw at least two events each semester before finals week.

Many RAs enjoy giving students something fun to go to. Hall director, Heather Wardlaw, enjoys helping put on the events and believes it helps many freshmen make new friends.

“When you knock on the doors and make people come down, they don’t have a choice but to talk to each other,” Wardlaw said about her experience hosting events.

Students spent the night showing off their dancing skills and enjoying free food. Events like Dance Central offer a great way to escape the stresses of school and meet new friends.
